What do you do when the place that was meant to feel like home… is the very place that hurt you?

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Leona sits down with Natalie Runion—founder of Raised to Stay and author of I Don't Even Like Women—to talk about church hurt, staying rooted in Jesus, and the long road back to healing and belonging.

Together, they explore what it means to wrestle with faith without walking away, how to navigate disappointment within the Church, and why so many women struggle to trust one another—even in spaces meant to feel safe. Natalie shares from her own story as a pastor's kid turned pastor, offering wisdom, honesty, and deep compassion for those who feel caught between loving Jesus and feeling wounded by His people.

This episode is a gentle invitation to the woman who feels unsure where she belongs… a reminder that healing is possible, community can be restored, and you are not alone in your wrestling.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How to stay connected to Jesus while processing church hurt
• The difference between walking away from the Church and walking with God through pain
• Why female friendships can feel so complicated—and how to rebuild trust
• Practical ways to move from comparison and insecurity to connection
• A vision for a healed, healthy Church rooted in grace and truth

If you've ever felt hurt, overlooked, or disconnected in your faith community, this conversation will meet you with both truth and tenderness.

You are still seen. You are still known. And there is still a place for you.
